Roads

I have been reading Eli Safak: The Bastard of Istambul.Every book speaks differently to each reader – for me this book is about searching for identity. How the constant reviving of the past kills the soul of the newer and newer generations… instead of healing it only promotes more hatred. It is worthwhile read. There is a coffeehouse in Istambul which is called Kundera Cafe. Nobody knows why Kundera and if Kundera had anything to do with it… The regulars are “pub-philosophers”. And what captured my imagination is that the walls of this cafe (pub) are covered with photos on a single topic: Roads. Every pictures is a photo of a road from all over the world. How many roads have I also captured! It could be a full collection… I selected a few of them for this collage… Which road would you take? The one which takes you in or takes you out? What is in and what is out? Or is it best to be on the road? I will make a book of all my roads – the title will be “Roadfinder”!:) Or something else:) Or it may be not even a book but instead wall-paper…:) Anyway, it will be interesting to see all the cross-roads of these years!:) We can share these kind of road-photo collage – who wants to join in?:)
